Lakers fans torn over Bronny James’ 2K25 rating

As a seasoned gamer with years of NBA 2K under my belt and a soft spot for the Lakers, I must say I find the Bronny James rating debate quite intriguing. Being a long-time observer of LeBron’s career and his influence on the team, it’s hard not to raise an eyebrow at the 68 overall rating.


Discussion about the starting score for rookie Bronny James in NBA 2K25, set at 68, has led to passionate arguments among Los Angeles Lakers supporters on various platforms, particularly what was once known as Twitter, where fans voiced a range of opinions regarding the justice and potential consequences of his initial evaluation.

As NBA 2K’s Ronnie 2K fueled excitement leading up to the announcement, he hinted at Bronny’s ratings during summer league games, implying a significant unveiling was imminent. Now, it’s official: his overall rating of 68 is in line with most rookies, but this hasn’t calmed down the debate within the Lakers fanbase. Some supporters argue that nepotism may have played a role in the positive evaluation, given Bronny’s connection to LeBron James.

Bronny James’ official rating in NBA 2K25 is 68 overall.

Too high, too low, or just right?

Feedback on the game’s rating was voiced by users such as @odanovich and @Daijon88. @odanovich humorously questioned, “Could you give a 48, or might LeBron take NBA 2K to court over an artificially boosted rating?”, while @Daijon88 expressed a more general sentiment when he said, “The rating should be in the 50s.” These comments suggest that some fans perceive the rating as being undeservedly high.

I dunno can you give a 48? Or would LeBron sue NBA 2K

Instead, some defenders maintain the rating is fair, emphasizing his room for improvement, particularly in offensive skills. User @OGBigSpeaka24 stated, “It’s spot on, he needs to focus on his offense; it’s not great at the moment,” while @DopeKing22k added, “He’s a novice, so there’s not much anticipated from him, so it doesn’t really matter.”

The Lakers are planning to have Bronny spend a significant portion of his first professional year in the G League, prioritizing his development over immediate on-court contributions. This tactic indicates that the team is managing its expectations and giving him room to grow without the usual pressure associated with playing in the NBA.

Over time, we’ll find it intriguing to observe how Bronny’s gameplay could impact his upcoming evaluations within the NBA 2K franchise. At this point, his current score of 68 serves as a starting point, hinting at a possible significant development in his rookie season.
